Description
"Democracy is overrated. Capitalism, on the other hand, doesn't get enough credit. In this book, John Mueller argues that these mismatches between image and reality create significant political and economic problems - inspiring instability, inefficiency, and widespread cynicism. We would be far better off, he writes, if we recognized that neither system is ideal or disastrous and accepted instead the humdrum truth that both are "pretty good." And, to Mueller, that means good enough. He declares that what is true of Garrison Keillor's fictional store "Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery" is also true of democracy and capitalism: if you can't get what you want there, "you can probably get along without it.""--BOOK JACKET.
